EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kinryuzan Temple at Asakusa (Asakusa Kinryuzan)" from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), dates back to 1856. This stunning work of art, a masterpiece of the 19th century, showcases the iconic Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. The temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, is a significant Buddhist site and a popular tourist destination. The print is characterized by its intricate detail and vibrant colors. The temple is depicted in the foreground, with its iconic red lanterns and ornate gates illuminated against the night sky. The temple is surrounded by a bustling crowd of people, some carrying oranges, a common offering to the temple. In the background, the cityscape of Edo (now Tokyo) is visible, with its narrow streets, traditional houses, and the towering silhouette of Mount Fuji. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the color woodblock printing technique. The use of black and orange hues creates a striking contrast, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The print also highlights the concept of the passing of the seasons, as the oranges suggest the autumn season. This print is a valuable piece of Asian art and cultural heritage, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japan's history and religious traditions. It is a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
